Basic Tablet Recipe

Mix all ingredients together in a heavy pan and dissolve the sugar over a low heat stirring with a wooden spoon.
Make sure all the crystals are melted - including those on the side of the pan.
When all the sugar is dissolved, bring slowly to the boil and simmer until the so called "soft ball" stage is reached.
To test this - drop a little syrup into some cold water and leave for a few minutes to cool. Pick it up and roll it between your fingers, it should roll into a soft ball. If it rolls into a hard ball or forms theads, you have let it boil too long and your tablet will be too hard.

When the proper stage is reached, place the pan on a cool surface and beat until the syrup starts getting grainy but stop before it begins to thicken.
Pour into a greased tin and mark into squares before it sets.

I have some recipes for adding flavours to the basic tablet.
Let me know if you are interested.
